From Macleans.ca [the website of a Canadian newsweekly magazine]:
“Maddox is a master at a certain kind of writing — the combination of mock anger and fake pomposity — that has flourished on the Web: the deliberately bizarre, floridly written rant that attracts attention for dealing with subjects that are too weird or obscure for “conventional” publications. These online writers like to give an absurd spin to mainstream subjects; Maddox devoted an essay to explaining the best methods of suicide, including “Eat a tub full of beans” and “Headbutt the sidewalk.” Other times, they deal with obscure pop culture: Canadian Ken Begg, of jabootu.com, writes tens of thousands of words analyzing bad movies like Pia Zadora’s The Lonely Lady…”
Of course, there was always the editorial written following a blog comment I wrote somewhere:
“A response to one Ken Begg, Catholic Martyr.”
(I should note the the author of this editorial seems to have somewhat randomly assigned to me many political and social opinions that I do not hold, and that I don’t believe were inherent in what I wrote.)
Ken Begg, Catholic Canadian!
